From Merci:

I bought this San Francisco beach condo about two years ago and worked over the first year to decorate with minor renovations to make it the home that I've dreamt of. Wanted to feature how color can make a difference in changing a home and low cost renovations to home (e.g., sanding and painting kitchen cabinets, changing lighting fixtures, etc). My goal was to turn the circa 1980s condo into a modern, minimalist home.
